Two-day programme. This is for middle managers, senior executives and human resource executives both from public and private organisations.

The primary purpose of conducting training is to assist people to be more effective in their jobs. However, many times it fails to address the specific needs of an organisation, department or staff. The implementation of training and development activities should be based on the critical needs of an organisation. Therefore, Training Needs Analysis (TNA) is an important step in assessing the current and future requirements of an organisation. It should identify the KSAO (Knowledge, Skills, Abilities, Other Characteristics) deficits, determine who requires training and development programmes, as well as the type of training programmes required. |
